The center is thoughtfully designed to make the most of Grandfather’s natural surroundings, using moveable walls and large banks of windows to bring the great outdoors inside. It doubles the size of the original Nature Museum with more than a dozen new state-of-the-art interactive exhibits to explore the natural history, flora, fauna, geology and weather of the mountain. Now open! The Wilson Center for Nature Discovery is located about halfway up the mountain, adjacent to the Wildlife Habitats.
